This invention aims to provide a simple device whereby a housewife can withdraw hot pans, pots and the like, from a kitchen oven, without running a chance of being burned, as is the case when an attempt 'is'made to with draw such articles through the instrumentality of a cloth. The inventionaims to prov de a one-piece, wooden article, forthe purpose stated, made of oak, pine or. any other su1table wood, the device being shorter and lighter than theordinary bakers peel, and the article being so constructed that a *slight thrust will introduce it underneath the article which is to be withdrawn from the oven,

the article being thereby removed from the' the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of whatis claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. 7

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 shows in top plan, a device constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevation.v

The device forming the subject matter of this application for removing hot articles from a domestic oven. It comprises a handle 1, of a common.

thickness from end to end, and a broadened blade 2 at one end of the handle. Because the handle 1 is of a common thickness from end to end, as shown in Figure 2, the article can be made cheaply out of a piece of board without doing any expensive lathe work, it being understood that the article is made of is adapted to be employed any suitable wood, such as oak, on ine. The handlel has a laterallyenlarged portion Slat its outer end, alaterallyxenlarged portionf 4 intermediate its )ends, anjflouter Qrestifictedj portion '5 between the enlarged portions 3 and- 4, and an inner restricted portion 61 between thef inner fenlarged'pon tion4 and-the b1'ade 2, and closelyadjacent to the blade. The restricted portions-5 and I; 16" afford spaced hand grips, whereby the :op-

erator'maytake hold of-the handle 1 conven 'i'ently',1'either" near toithe outer end of i the .handle,i near'to the blade,;o'r at both ofsaid places atfonce. "The device isshort?enough 7 so that it may ingit up' 'endwisqor hanging it from a height approximating the height of the operator.

The rear end'of the blade 2 haspronounced handle 1, and forming, at the outer lateral edges ,8 of the'blade, sharp-pointed hooks 9,.

to be used in moving an article in an oven,

concavities 7, located on. opposite sides of the Q the said outer lateral edges 8 of the blade converging towardthe forward end 10 of 7:

the blade, to make the hooks '9 eflicient. The blade 2 tapers in thickness, in one direction only, from its inner end to its outer end, as

shown at 11, and is bevelled in one direction, only,as shown at12, to facilitate theintrois to be removed from the oven. The under duction of the blade under the article which surface 1 1 of the blade 2,*and the under surface15 .of the handle 1 lie in a common flat plane. In the part 3 of the handle 1 there is a hole 16 or other suspension means, where by the device maybe hung up when not in can be laid away on a shelf, or on a table, without being in the way;

The structure is simple and inexpensive to make, and will befound thoroughly efiicient for the objectsstated. 7

What is claimed is I A device for removinghot articlesfrom a domestic oven, comprising a handle of a comuse, although it is short enough so that it mon thickness from end to end and a broadened blade at one end of the handle, the de- -vice being made of wood, the handle having a laterally enlarged portion at its outer end, 5 a laterally enlarged portion intermediate its ends, an outer restricted portion between the enlarged portions, and an inner restricted portion between the inner enlarged portion and the blade and closely adjacent to the blade, the restricted portions 'afl'ordingr spaced hand grips whereby the operator may take hold of the handle conveniently either near to the outer end of the handle, nearto the blade or at both of said places at once, the device being short enough so that it maybe used as akitchen article and be put away conveniently without standing it up endwise V or hangin'git from a height approxilnating the height of the; operator, the rear end of v the blade having pronounced concavities;

' located on opposite sides of the handle, and

forming, at the outer lateral edges ofv the V blade,rsharppointed hooks to be usedin mov 1 ing an article in an oven, the outer lateral edges of the blade, converging toward the forwardv end of theibl'ade to make the hooks V eflicient, the blade tapering. in thickness from V its inner end to its outer end and bein bevelled across its outer end, to facilitate the introductionof the blade underthearticle v 1' I whichis to be removed from theoven. 7.

In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
